SA won 3 games - as Aus and Eng - but still go home.
After the Super 12, top 8 teams should be listed anf QFs Should be played.
#1 vs #8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5
Then Semis.
T20 WC has so many idiosyncracies - that ejecting teams from Super 12 is too harsh!!
Agree??

2022 T20WC - how to group?
In reply to Lungidi2017
Correction, South Africa won four games, and lost only one.
And they go home.
But they did better than many expected. Imho they're a team to watch next year.

How about ejecting 6 or out?
The format was bad even before the 4 wins yet out scenario happened.
I think 2024 is poised for a different one, hopefully itll be less controversial yet easy to understand with all matches having meaning.

Why wud u want to watch a competition where a team with as little as 2 points out of a possible 10 advances to a knockout round with a chance of winning the competition?
It takes away from the round robin matches if u are a certainty for the knockout phase with less than half of the available points.

As it is,West Indies would still not qualify for the final 8 in a quarter final scenario.The 4 additional teams would have been South Africa,Sri Lanka,India and Afghanistan., all of whom had 4 points or more.

They could reduce the round robin phase and have an expanded knock out phase, such as a double elimination portion. That way you wouldn't lose any matches and at the same time make more matches a high-pressure situation.
Four out of six teams in a group going to a QF doesn't seem to be the way to go. *Maybe* 3 out of 6 with group winners getting byes, but that's not really elegant.
